[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Want to know Wednesday

Thu Feb 23 15:50:50 UTC 2023

The only way I can tell my red and hot pink pants, apart, is to take them to
the bath room or londry room, where there is a bright light and hold them
together!
Have not tried the color identifier, yet.
It is a new tool in my environment!

My sighted husband has trouble telling navy blue from black.

I have my pants marked with safety pins to tell me what color they are.
There are though times though he thinks I am wearing black when I think it
is navy.  He makes me go out into the sunlight to confirm that I am right in
the color.  

Colors change depending on what kind of light is illuminating the color...
florescent, incandesant, daylight.  What may look one hade in incandescent
will look quite different in flrorescent light.  Often times businesses will
have florescent lighting.  In my sighted days I used to take my embroidery
flosses to the window of the stitch shop to really get an idea as to the
actual color and shade  of the floss.

I agree!
Denice has one that is only 2 rows!
That is another reason why I like interchangeable needles.  You can count
the slots and the needles fit snugly in their slots!
Now wouldn't it be great if we had a bead sourter!
Put the bead in a bowl and it could tell you the correct color, not just
blue, but the shade.
Remember those banks that could sourt your coins!

How about a better color identifier!
Our new one told me my dark blue pants were black and when I sat in the sun,
I could tell they were blue!

What I want is a knitting needle sizer with braille on it, or even raised
print, if it's big enough.  You know, the doodad you stick a needle or
crochet hook into to find out what size it is after its package is long
gone.  I've labeled a couple, but it ain't easy.
It should be easy to make with a 3D printer; I just don't know how.

I can think of a few things I'd like to see invented. One would be a machine
that I could stick a ball of tangled yarn into and it would come out ready
to be used.

May post another later if nobody thinks of them.

Did you know 96% of women buy all the candles sold in America
